Any head trauma resulting in noticeable swelling should be addressed as soon as possible by your veterinarian. If your vet is unavailable, go to the nearest veterinary ER. Restrict Tuffy's activity until she sees the doctor. Do not medicate her without the advice of a vet. Keep her warm and as stress free as possible until she gets to the clinic or hospital.
